ok me and my friend where trying to figure this out. dont know the proper name for it or if its even a real trick. You do a off axis 360 but more in a helicopter fasion head is down and your legs ar above you. and the only way we could see it happen would do like a backroll and juring it you do the 360 so would u call that a Back roll off axis 360, or just backroll 360, would it just be a invert 360? or is there a trick that is exacly the same? need help thanks here i drew a picture to help. i hope it doesn't make you more confused lol. And its not a raley your completly upside down

It sounds like you are describing a backroll mobe (backroll w/ frontside 360), but you pretty much have to handle pass to get all the way around for the landing. Being layed out like a raley is just a matter of how you release off the wake- kind of like how some people throw scarecrows real layed out vs taking it straight up & over. If you release like a raley, you will have a ton of line tension and the only way to initiate the rotation would be to do it like a s-bend, or a 'helicopter' but you would most likely chest dive and never try it again. I don't think there is a specific trick for what you are talking about though.

i think it is just a huge off axis 3...if im not mistaken if the board comes as high as your shoulders or above then it is off axis...in your case it is so high above that it looks like a flip...which i think looks better than only up to your shoulders

if it is handlepass, then probably a heelside mobe, just tweaked. if it is an over-the-head 360, then it might be a not-enough-tweak s-bend. possibility.
